Winston Peters says NZ First will sit in Opposition rather than go into coalition with any "race based" party.
On his way into Parliament today, Peters repeated earlier comments that NZ First might sit on the cross benches rather than go into a coalition that undermined its principles, including its opposition to what it calls "Maori separatism".
"We are not going to be in any combination that is race-based," Peters said.
"That is with the Maori Party or the Mana Party. We've made it very clear. We think that separatism is extraordinarily damaging for this country.have you defeated them?

Long range predictions here:
Next Labour leader will be a photogenic woman.
And after her will be Chris Hipkins who has never had a real job in his life.Comment

Maybe Winston First could get chummy with Colin?
The rest are only variations on a theme.

We can't see what's in the minds of voters, no matter how much breath
is wasted by commentators of every ilk on lots of I think and clearly and
it seems and did they . . . type utterances.
That said, it's all very well saying the country gets the gummint it deserves
but did we deserve what we got? I wonder how much fear of a watermelon
coalition and CGT swayed voters' choices?
I.e. was it a matter of voting for the least bad option?Comment

a 3rd term party
won an increased share of the vote
i think you have to go back over a 100 years in nz to match that
+
the first gov. since mmp
to be able to govern alone
....
the voters sent some very clear messages
- that they are very happy with 'more of the same'
- would possibly like a slight further shifting of the nz middle to the right
- won't vote for cashed-up blow-ins
- they are tired of the old leftist lies or at least the ability of the left to hate each other more than the opposition
- labour's loss, was winston's gain - a very telling shift in opinion
leftist councils like lennies
will now now be scrapping plans for red penny to take over
and the right will be searching for people and cash to support genuine options like quax
meanwhile the housing wof people
will be trying to double-down and force stuff through leftist local bodies
before they get chucked out
which will predictably lead to them being seen as undemocratic
galvanising rightist opposition
to do just that
...
interesting times when not even hone
was safe from his own people
the left need to stop preaching and start listening
especially as
they hate what they hearLast edited by eri; 21-09-2014, 05:34 PM.have you defeated them?

What has been happening in Labour is that ideological purists have sought to drive Labour so far left it has become unelectable.
Shearer revealed that as leader, he had spent more time fighting Labour's factions than John Key.
Cunliffe is now talking of "modernising" the party.
That might be read as code for saying he will be tackling the left and restraining its influence.
His problem is that the left put him where he is.
It was a pact with the devil which Cunliffe now seeks to tear up - but which in doing so may well destroy his leadership.
The irony is that the changes to Labour's constitution which Cunliffe exploited to undermine Shearer's leadership have come back to haunt the current leader.

Labour is committed to wealth redistribution - taking from the rich and giving to the poor - hence the capital gains tax scheme.Originally posted by eri View Post
It will always be unelectable with this belief.
I don't think they can change.
I think they are doomed to 20-25% support until they eventually wither and die over the next 10 years.Comment
